English at UVic
Lord Polonius: What do you read, my lord?
Hamlet: Words, words, words.
Lord Polonius: What is the matter, my lord?
Hamlet: Between who?
Lord Polonius: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
Don't let Hamlet mess with you. The "matter," of course, is Literature.
Literature captures us and urges us to reflect upon our relation to the world, to our culture, and to ourselves. In stories, poems, and plays; in epics, romances, and sacred texts; in films, graphic novels, and even video games: we represent who we are through imagination and language. We are, after all, Homo loquens: the creature that uses language in a very special way.
The English Department at UVic proudly offers a wide range of both traditional and cutting-edge courses that tackle literature from a variety of perspectives, with the purpose of feeding your imagination, challenging your intellect, and offering the pleasures of reading.
At the same time, our English courses, whether in literature or Professional Communication, develop your ability to write well, to analyze texts effectively, and to create your own effective texts. These courses will also prepare for you for reading and writing in contexts beyond the classroom and university, wherever clear, competent communication is valued. We are also very strong in Digital Humanities, offering a number of exciting graduate and undergraduate courses that bring together literary and digital studies.

Ship Operators
UK Shipping Needs Time to Prepare for 2015 Emission Limits
The UK Chamber of Shipping says shipping needs more time to prepare for the 2015 0.1% sulphur limit introduction in the ECA's The 2015 0.1% sulphur limit applies within the North Sea and English Channel and the Baltic Sea Emission Control Areas. The Chamber's director of safety and environment, David Balston, said: "We fully support the need to reduce sulphur emissions from ships – but we are particularly concerned that many routes will become non viable and for those vessels operating on them we seek transitional arrangements, including very tight time limited exemptions to allow technology to catch up and provide a realistic alternative." These comments were made following the publication of a report by consultancy firm AMEC, commissioned by the Chamber on behalf of several North Sea and Western Channel shipping operators. The report says that the targets for shipping companies to reduce their sulphur emissions by 2015, could cause adverse environmental effects and result in a loss of 2,000 maritime services jobs, and place many more industrial jobs under threat. The report is the first of its kind to examine the full impact of hitting sulphur targets. The report shows the key impacts of hitting the 2015 sulphur reduction targets would be: • Much more freight moved by road, rather than sea – increasing carbon emissions and causing more road congestion

Stun Cuff at IACP 2008
Todays criminal is hardened, desperate and more dangerous than ever. They endanger everyone they come in contact with; law enforcement, judges and civilians. They are out of control! During trial prisoner shackling has been found unconstitutional for fear prisoners may appear guilty before a jury. On the other hand, you can't allow a murder suspect freedom in the courts, filled with innocent bystanders where they may attempt to break free. All too frequently we hear disturbing reports of prisoner escapes. Whether taking a prisoner for a doctor visit, transporting them for trial, interrogations or dealing with a prisoner that is under the influence. They must be controlled.

Or leave blank otherwise) Nature (If you know it, or at least have a good idea of what they're running, fill this in) - Move - Move - Move - Move (Known moves just have to be filled in mainly. Unknown moves can be left blank or estimated based on what the Pokemon was. If you're not totally sure, just leave a question mark next to it) Would also help to describe maybe what your experience with the Pokemon was. What you did or had up against them and/or how it managed to pull the rug out from under you, that kinda thing. Or even show a link to a video? Do whatever ya wanna. Like for example, I actually just faced this today: Pinsir @ Pinsirite EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly nature - Earthquake - Sleep Talk - Quick Attack (?) - Return/X-Scissor (?) What this Pinsir did, it actually switched straight in on my Breloom's Spore move and Mega Evolved after I put it to sleep. I thought I was home free, right? About to get that juicy OHKO with Rock Tomb? Nope. Sleep Talk. I got hit with an Earthquake. And even though Breloom resisted Earthquake, it broke its Focus Sash to allow a Noivern to kill it off later and pretty much give them the game. If the Pinsir didn't have Sleep Talk, I would've had my sash intact and the match would have gone...a little bit differently. :\ But yeah, like I said, feel free to post any other..."creative" sets you've faced here! I'll add them into the OP, and sort them out if this thread gets big enough

CHICAGO—The partial economic recovery, and the resulting pent-up demand for new retail, has developers looking hungrily at the large underused or obsolete spaces scattered throughout the affluent north suburbs. And one of the top attractions was the old headquarters and manufacturing center of Klein Tools on the northwest corner of Touhy Ave. and McCormick Blvd. in Skokie. The family-owned company had moved its headquarters to Lincolnshire in 2006, but held onto the old property.
"The guys at Klein told me that they would get calls all the time from investors and retailers about selling," Jack H. Rosenberg, a principal with Colliers International | Chicago's industrial group, tells GlobeSt.com. "The property was screaming out for retail."
The Lincolnwood Town Center has been across the street for decades, he adds, helping to build up a critical mass of shoppers. A Lowe's Home Improvement was set up nearby just before the economic crash, and the village also recently approved the construction of a new Walmart on Touhy Ave.
"Skokie has always been very protective of their industrial area," he says, due to the jobs it had provided for generations, but the Klein works "was a 60-year-old plant that really needed an upgrade, and eventually Skokie said, 'we're going to acknowledge this and we're going to rezone it for retail to bring in some tax revenue.'"
That bet recently paid off when Centrum Partners LLC bought the nine-acre parcel. The Chicago-based developer closed the purchase on December 30 and plans to build a 75,000-square-foot Mariano's Fresh Market grocery store on the site, along with a Longhorn Steakhouse, a bank, and other retail facilities. Site work has begun, including the demolition of old structure. According to Cook County property records, Centrum paid $9.75 million. Rosenberg and Colliers' Frederick L. Regnery, another principal, represented Klein in the transaction.
"Almost everybody that put in a bid also put forward a plan which showed Mariano's as an anchor tenant," Rosenberg says. The key role now played by Mariano's in north suburban development was also apparent last year when Rosenberg and Regnery marketed a 20-acre parcel in suburban Glenview once occupied by Avon Products Inc. Most of bidders on that property also proposed using the wildly popular grocer to anchor a major retail center. And officials from Regency Centers Corp., the successful bidder, plan a 75,564-square-foot Mariano's for their new $29.6 million center, called Glen Gate, which they expect will open in fall 2014.
"The resurgence of the economy has led to strong retail demand and older properties — particularly in more mature, dense markets such as the North suburbs — need to be recycled to make way for newer developments that serve the current population's needs," Rosenberg says.

New software development platform claims quickest route to market with enterprise-grade apps
London, UK and New York, NY - May 19, 2014 - Push Technology today unveiled the latest version of its enterprise-grade data distribution platform, Diffusion 5.0, to provide the fastest time to market and value to deliver mobile apps. With a new unified API, enhanced performance, high availability and easy integration with enterprise assets, the platform helps organizations get to market faster with high-performance, real-time apps and for these to be deployed across a range of mobile operating systems, networks and clients.
"Customer expectations are soaring as the mobile mind shift accelerates. To meet those expectations, enterprise mobile development teams must be capable of releasing high-quality apps quickly, and quite often, several times a year," explains Sean Bowen, CEO at Push Technology. "Yet, organizations are still wrestling with three major challenges; what apps to build, how to make them reliable and how to make them perform at scale. Our response in Diffusion 5.0 is to provide a solution that does more so you can be more productive, delivers faster time to value, offers continuous availability and easily integrates with enterprise assets."
Robin Knipe, Java developer at Racing Post, has trialed Diffusion 5.0. He explains, "We use its real-time data delivery to feed our clients live prices. Building our applications on top of such a stable and feature-rich platform makes development fast and easy. Having had an early look at Diffusion 5.0, I'm really looking forward to taking advantage of the architectural and DevOps benefits that come through the use of the new unified API. As we run multi-server configurations, we'll also get a lot of benefits from the new enhanced high availability capabilities."
New features include:
- High Availability features including session replication, topic replication, and failover of active topic sources.
- Control Client enables you to implement your control logic in any of the supported languages and locate it outside of the Diffusion server, supporting cloud-based solutions.
- Unified API will make available the capabilities of standard clients, control clients, and event publishers in one consistent, modular interface.
- Improved Performance serve up to 85 percent more messages per second to 25 percent more clients by using a new queuing mechanism.
- New Authentication Model so you can write and configure both remote and local authentication handlers.
"Push Technology is breaking new ground in terms of moving data at scale, particularly in a mobile world and one evolving to the 'Internet of Things,'" said Julie Craig, research director, application management, Enterprise Management Associates. "Push Technology's Diffusion platform has the potential to become part of the fabric supporting the high scale, high speed apps and services of the future."
The Java-based middleware is able to intelligently understand data to automatically remove out-of-date or redundant data. As a result, customers can efficiently distribute fast changing data to a large number of simultaneously connected users. In a recent performance benchmark test based on a single small six core server (i.e. commodity tin), Diffusion was able to support 87,000 clients at a sustained rate of up to 15 million messages per second in aggregate at very low latency. The message size was 125 bytes.
Diffusion 5.0 is available for download immediately at download.pushtechnology.com. For more information about Diffusion 5.0, visit http://www.pushtechnology.com/diffusion5/.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

The lawsuit involving Invokana states the manufacturer failed to warn patients and physicians of the increased risks of kidney failure, myocardial infarction (heart attacks), and ketoacidosis. Plaintiffs attorneys argue that if the manufacturer had properly warned, then doctors would have prescribed a medication other than Invokana for patients with type 2 diabetes, and certainly patients would have had their health monitored on a more frequent basis for potential signs of heart issues, renal impairment, and high level of ketones.
Why is Invokana Prescribed
Invokana is a prescription medication used in combination with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar and improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. When untreated, type 2 diabetes can lead to serious problems, including blindness, nerve damage, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and a range of other problems. Invokana helps lower a person's blood sugar by causing the kidneys to remove sugar through the urine.
Side Effects of Invokana
The most serious potential side effects and risks caused by Invokana are myocardial infarction (heart attack), kidney damage and ketoacidosis.
Kidney failure occurs when your kidneys stop functioning without the use of dialysis or a kidney transplant. Kidneys help filter waste products from the blood. They are also involved in helping to control blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cell production. When your kidneys stop functioning properly, waste products, fluids, and electrolytes build up in the body and can cause weakness, shortness of breath, lethargy, confusion, abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death.
Myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack) is the irreversible death of cells within the heart caused by a restriction of blood. It occurs when there is a blockage in the arteries preventing blood from reaching portions of the heart, and thus oxygen and nutrients no longer reach the heart muscle. Basically a portion of the heart is being starved of oxygen and nutrients, a condition called "cardiac ischemia." If this condition lasts too long, the starved heart tissue dies.
Ketoacidosis is a medical condition where high levels of ketones are produced in the body. Ketoacidosis can result in a patient suffering a diabetic coma, extended hospitalization, and even death. Ketoacidosis develops when the body is unable to produce enough insulin, which insulin plays a major role in helping sugar (glucose) enter cells, and provides needed energy to the muscles and other tissues. Without enough insulin, the body breaks down fat as an alternative source of energy, which causes a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones. Excess ketones result in ketoacidosis if untreated.
If you are currently taking Invokana, you should pay close attention for any signs of kidney failure, heart problems and acidosis and seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, faintness, increased heart rate, increased pulmonary rate, difficulty breathing, hyperventilation, weakness, changes in urination, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, confusion, and unusual fatigue or sleepiness. Do not stop or change your diabetes medication without first talking to your medical provider, but be especially careful to take appropriate measures to monitor for signs of kidney issues, heart problems, and acidosis, and immediately seek appropriate medical care if you have any concerns.

Have There Been Any Significant Invokana Settlements
As of this time, there have been no large group settlements involving Invokana. Litigation likes this takes many years to resolve, with teams of lawyers spending millions of dollars trying to determine exactly what occurred, and how it could have been prevented. Generally, large groups of settlements do not occur until such time as a few cases are tried before a jury, and the manufacturer is able to more thoroughly understand its financial risk. This in no way means you can wait to hire an attorney and file a lawsuit. Just the opposite, if you wait, you could permanently lose all of your rights, even if a settlement occurs in the future. This is because every state has time limitations in which you can file a lawsuit for any injuries that you have sustained or could sustain resulting from Invokana.
FDA and Scientific Studies Regarding Invokana
FDA Drug Safety Communication: FDA revises labels of SGLT2 inhibitors [such as Invokana] for diabetes to include warnings about too much acid in the blood and serious urinary tract infectionsPatients should stop taking their SGLT2 inhibitor [such as Invokana] and seek medical attention immediately if they have any symptoms of ketoacidosis, a serious condition in which the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. Patients should also be alert for signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection, such as a feeling of burning when urinating or the need to urinate often or right away; pain in the lower part of the stomach area or pelvis; fever; or blood in the urine. Contact a health care professional if you experience any of these symptoms. To read more, click FDA Drug Safety
FDA Drug Safety Communication: FDA warns that SGLT2 inhibitors for diabetes may result in a serious condition of too much acid in the bloodThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning that the type 2 diabetes medicines canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin may lead to ketoacidosis, a serious condition where the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones that may require hospitalization. We are continuing to investigate this safety issue and will determine whether changes are needed in the prescribing information for this class of drugs, called sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. To read more, click FDA Drug Safety
Invokana Recall Information
As of this time, there has not been a recall of Invokana related to kidney failure, myocardial infarction or ketoacidosis. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued two safety announcements warning patients to stop taking Invokana, and seek immediate medical help, if they suffer any symptoms of ketoacidosis, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, tiredness, or trouble breathing.
Invokana Lawsuit NewsManufacturer of Invokana Admits Link to Acute Kidney Injuries:
Janssen is now expressly warning that acute kidney injuries are associated with using Invokana. In light of the mounting litigation over claims that Invokana causes kidney failure and other kidney injuries, it seems as though Janssen has read the tea leaves, and knows that a label change, whether voluntary or FDA-mandated, was needed.. To read more, click Drug Safety NewsPerspective: SGLT2 inhibitors may predispose to ketoacidosis:
Based on the physiology of SGLT2 and pharmacology of SGLT2 inhibitors, there are several biologically plausible mechanisms whereby this class of drugs has potential to increase the risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis. Future research should be directed toward identifying which patients are at greatest risk for this side effect, and also to optimizing pharmacotherapy in order to minimize risk to patients.

Much of the recent bad news surrounding the new "miracle" diabetic drug Invokana (canagliflozin) has to do with a condition known as ketoacidosis, which can cause a dangerous rise in blood acidity. This in turn can lead to coma and even death. However, there is another increasingly apparent problem with this drug; and there is powerful evidence that both the drug maker and the FDA were aware of it. That issue is the risk of Invokana myocardial infarction (heart attacks). To read more, click Levin Law NewsThe Invokana Kidney Damage and Ketoacidosis Lawsuit – The Beginning is Now Officially Upon Us:
Invokana (canagliflozin) is the latest in a line of drugs designed to treat Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes. Like its predecessors, glitazone (Actos, Avandia) and sitagliptin (Januvia), it has been implicated in a number of adverse events that have resulted in patient health complications, hospitalizations and even death. To read more, click Levin Law NewsSGLT2 Inhibitor Diabetes Drugs May Cause Ketoacidosis: FDA:
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned today that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors used to treat type 2 diabetes may lead to ketoacidosis requiring hospitalization. The warning includes the SGLT2 inhibitors canagliflozin (Invokana, Johnson & Johnson), dapagliflozin (Farxiga, AstraZeneca), and empagliflozin (Jardiance, Lilly/Boehringer), as well as three combination products that include an SGLT2 inhibitor: canagliflozin plus metformin (Invokamet, Johnson & Johnson), dapagliflozin plus metformin extended release (Xigduo XR, AstraZeneca), and empagliflozin plus linagliptin (Glyxambi, Lilly/Boehringer). To read more, click Medscape NewsFDA Issues Warning for Type 2 Diabetes Drugs: SGLT2 inhibitors linked to potentially fatal condition called ketoacidosis:
A certain class of type 2 diabetes drugs can lead to a life-threatening condition called ketoacidosis, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns. These prescription drugs are called sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and include canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin. They work by prompting the kidneys to remove sugar in the blood through urine. The drugs are sold under the brand names: Invokana (canagliflozin), Invokamet (canagliflozin and metformin), Farxiga (dapagliflozin), Xigduo XR (dapagliflozin and metformin extended-release), Jardiance (empagliflozin), Glyxambi (empagliflozin and linagliptin).

Ulaangom Vacation Packages
Ulaangom isn't the only place in Mongolia that is worth exploring; experienced travelers will be keen to be sure to set aside plenty of time to experience the charms of the surrounding landscapes, cities and cultural attractions.
Ask a local for their must-see places around Ulaangom, they'll often point you in the direction of the region's fabulous open-air exhibits. No matter what your faith, visitors are sure to be moved in Mongolia's temples and other holy sites.
Why don't you relax and enjoy during gentle pastimes such as cycling or bird watching. Both are popular with both travelers and locals alike. Why don't you try some wintersports while you are in this area? Snowboarding is an idea. So is cross-country skiing.
Culinary traditions are an integral part of any area and an excellent way to understand an area. Two of the region's favourite ingredients are noodles and dried curd. Why not try instant-boiled mutton or cooked mutton? Both dishes are popular in this area. Kifir (soft yoghurt) is the perfect way to round out your Mongolia meal. Invigorate your palette with a glass of the regional brew. Atlan Gobi is a good choice. Have a sample of a common drinks such as airag (fermented mare's milk).
The handiest major airport, Altay Airport, is situated in Altay, 240 miles (386 kilometers) to the southwest of Ulaangom, which is handy to remember when planning your vacation.

Your Story

Too hot or too cold?
It's all everyone is talking about. It's hot. Really hot.
As long as I have AC to escape to at night to get some sleep I'm good with the heat.
In that age-old argument about too hot or too cold, I'll always take too hot over the cold. I'm just not a winter guy.
Sure, I'd like it to be less extreme in Wisconsin, but I can't afford to live in San Diego where it's in the 70's all the time.
Besides, I do enjoy the change of seasons in Wisconsin and would miss that. Fall brings out the sweaters after the heat of summer breaks, and spring brings the promise of sun and warmth after a long, cold winter. Of the two, I just prefer no snow and warm temps.
Having said that, this humidity is rough. And what's even rougher is the fact that our studio needs some cooling updates because we have no air in there. And when it gets this hot outside the inside is no day at the beach either. The good news is that after spending over three hours a day in there Reggie and I have been losing weight just sweating it off in there. Maybe this is some sort of twisted company health plan.

There has been a long heated debate within and among members of the public over the fall of the crude oil price in the World market. This fall has led to so many calls on the government of Sierra Leone to lower the price of pump fuel. On Thursday 25th.February, 2016 in the weekly government press briefing at the Ministry of Information and Communications conference Room in Freetown, the Deputy government Spokesman in the Ministry of Information and Communication, Adjibu Jalloh has maintained that the Government cannot afford to lower the pump price of fuel at present.
Yes the crude oil price had drop in the World market but we are not using crude oil in Sierra Leone but the final processed one he said. Mr. Jalloh continued that the government is still subsidizing to get the pump price as it is. For every one Litter that is sold at Le3,750, government is paying an addition of Le2,750, he maintained.
He also explained that the government is still spending huge sum of money in the areas of infrastructure, health, electricity, and education to name a few. If government continues to add more subsidizes in other to lower the price of fuel, where can the government get fund to implement more projects in the aforementioned areas? he asked.
World Bank and other Donor partners are not pleased with government for it continual stands in subsidizing the pump price of fuel in the country he further noted.
The Deputy Government spokesman further narrated to the press that the government will embark on a nationwide sensitization to explain to the nation the rationale of its position on the pump price issue.
In his statement, the Deputy Minister of Information and Communications who also doubles as the chairman of the briefing, Theo Nicole, stated there is no uniformity in pump price of fuel in the world. Mr. Nicole praised the brave and logical presentation of Ezekiel Duramany-Lakkoh, lecturer at the Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM) University of Sierra Leone over the hot heated debate.
It was a brave, intellectual and well researched presentation Mr. Lakkoh presented which he titled FUEL PRICING: simple Maths versus Simple Economics, Mr. Nicole said.

What Better Feels Like: Answers from People Who Have Experienced Depression
What Better Feels Like: A Guide to Maintaining Wellness(Download PDF)
Each interviewee emphasized the importance of maintaining their wellness, once better was achieved.
The Interviewees
Ten people from across the country agreed to be interviewed about their depression and their journey to better. All had experienced at least one major depressive episode with many having recurring bouts.
Just as recognizing the signs and symptoms of depression is important to enable people to seek out treatment, it is equally key to recognize the signs of recovery or 'what better feels like.'
Mood Disorders Society of Canada embarked on a project to learn from others who have "been there," to understand what better feels like to them. Here, ten people who had experiened depression were interviewed to answer questions like: What is depression like? What are the signs of getting better? What helped and what didn't? And what does better feel like?
The results... two documents and several videos in the words of those who have lived experience

The Questionnaire
Each interviewee received the questions in advance so they could reflect upon what their answers would be. Interviewees often remarked that they found the questions to be challenging. People said that they had to really think about their answers. All felt that they had been made to think - in a good way. And all were pleased to be able to contribute.
The Documents
While the research focused on the answer to the question, what better feels like, the questionnaire covered a number of topics - as did the interviewees who did not feel at all constrained by the format and talked about their experiences in whatever ways they wished.
The "Answers" document is organized around the themes that emerged, some of which follow the questions asked and some of which do not. It stays true to the voices of the interviewees. This way, their personalities, their passions and their sage advice is in their own words.
The "Guide" is based on what interviewees learned. It is a woven narrative of a summary of the points they wanted readers to understand. Their actual words punctuate sections of the guide to provide emphasis and insight into their recommendations on how to maintain wellness.

At Paulsboro's northern tip, near a modest baseball and football field, a huge swath of open land along the Delaware River sits prepped and primed for reuse after years of being a desolate home to a former oil terminal and chemical plant.
"They took down the tanks and they started, and then they stopped," Nirah Wilson, 80, said last week outside his Second Street ranch house, neighboring the site.
"They're standing still," said Wilson, a retired Air Force aircraft mechanic. "That's what it looks like."
In September 2009, officials welcomed reporters to the area for a groundbreaking ceremony for what was billed as the largest economic development initiated in Gloucester County: A marine terminal that would make Paulsboro a regional hub for imports and exports.
